[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][google][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I liked it. Some hits and misses. The thing with Rory--good people can do bad things, make bad decisions. Everything she did seemed in character. She's always been imperfect, as have lorelai and Emily. But many of us continue to identify and like them in spite of their character flaws.

They're all real and messy and uncomfortable at times.

I have very few complaints except for the
Musical (liked it, but could have been shorter. However, adore Sutton Foster and all the other Bunheads cameos-Sasha, Ginny!) and lack of more Lane.

I was never invested in which dude Rory would end up with so that prob helped.

Also loved the Arrested Development shout outs with Paul. [/quote]

Who are these people that can identify with them?
I haven't met one yet.  I knew many who could  identify with the original characters a single mom making her own way, doing the best she can  and sometimes at odds with her parents or the teenage girl that's smart and naive and occasionally makes a poor choice.

Yhe spoiled 1% ers that are completely self-involved , too good for any kind of work and only thinking of themselves  not so relatable for most adult women.

Really?  I find it very relatable.  Like the PP I am the same age as rory (a few years younger), went to a private school, am a wasp, and lived in connecticut for a while.  The show to me is like coming home.  [/quote]

It sounds like you are a spoiled 1% the rest of us  don't crash on friends couches, play the part of the OW  and not work because the job available to us are beneath us at 32.

I you really think  Rory is relatable to most American women of her age bracket you really need to broaden your horizons at your age.[/quote]

I'm not ashamed of being a WASP.  if someone can find The Wire or whatever else relatable, why can't young, private school educated, white girls relate to Gilmore Girls?  Get off your high horse. [/quote]

You seem to think the vast majority of the world relates to that. They don't. That's not a high horse. That is reality.  Broaden your horizons.[/quote]

No, I don't.  I was speaking for myself and the other PP relates to it too.  Get. Over. It. [/quote]

I have nothing to get over, you have trouble accepting that the life you lead and portrayed by Rory i truly pathetic for a 32 year old woman. You are under 30 so I'll forgive you and hope by the time you hit 32 you know better.[/quote]

Wow.  Take a Xanax.  It's a GD tv show, for Pete's sake!  Get a grip! [/quote]

PP sounds truly unhinged.  While I don't exactly relate the 32 yr. old vagabond Rory, I did very much relate to her younger character.  The private school, wealthy family was familiar to me and I'm not ashamed to say that.  PP needs to get a grip and realize that while GG may not represent her reality, there are plenty of people for whom it does.  [/quote]
I've been on the sidelines of this dust up between these pps, but since this latest pp insists on having the last word (by reviving a dead argument), I'll point out that the unapologetic private school WASPy pp (who I previously had no beef with) is re-writing history (of this thread) to make her argument. 
It went something like this: 
WASPy pp: oh, I can relate to Rory and her life. We're about the same age --  like going home again. 
Annoyed pp: WTH? Who on earth can relate to this unemployed, uncharitable, arrogant vagabond 32 yr old Rory?
WASPy pp: ugh, some of us can relate. Get real.
Annoyed pp: oh, girl, I'm real

.

WASPy pp: CHILLAX!  TAKE A XANAX!  I will not apologize!  I said I related to young Rory, not 32 yr old Rory! Geeeez.

(Not true, but ok, whatevs). 
[/quote]

Yawn.  You're just making an already silly tangent even more ridiculous.  Let it go...[/quote]
Said the WASPy I'm not apologizing I'm not wrong but I gotta have the last word pp. Yep, let it go. [/quote]
